grigio alloy

Been looking at a car in this colour. Bit uncertain about it but the general advice seenms to be that it would be a dog to resell eventually, and worth significantly less than resale red or even black.

It's so subjective and different shapes/curves respond differently. For example, IMO, the 458 looks a lot better in grigio than in red. As for resale, you need a crystal ball, but it's my view that the almost obligatory red Ferrari is less the case today. When one buys a car with resale uppermost in one's mind.........c'est autre chose.

If it is, I'd say your quandary is reflected in the asking price. Haggle hard, and with the engine bay tidy that is needed and even with the aftermarket parking sensors, I'd say that could be a attractive price. Add some carbon and a challenge grill and that would be on my list!

What model are you looking at?
Jules had a 360 in that colour and I have a 550 in Grigio Alloy, one of only 6 in the UK, and I think it looks very classy.

Dave on here has a GA 360 also.....

Like my car (in Silver) they’ll never be as popular as red but you buy cheap, sell cheap.
For the V12’s, all of the metallic silver/greys/blues look good.
Do I regret not buying red? Maybe when the price differential expanded as the prices went up but I also prefer my car not to stand out.
If the prices do come down. None red maybe has less to fall, but with fewer buyers they’ll also will be harder to shift.

Do you like it? If so and if it is a good car and price is right. What’s not to like.....

If it were me, on a car approaching 20 years old condition trumps everything. A bad red car will still be a bitter experience.

This is so true and holds true for anything which holds a premium beit colour, full manual, even Ferrari main dealer service history. The trick is to recognise where the car you are thinking of buying sits in the marketplace and pay accordingly. If you can do that the best advice is probably to simply get what YOU want in terms of colour, tipo and variant.
